I can’t find replacement bearings for my Bush Washing Machine, although listed is a “Rear half Tub” with bearings pre-installed. Now my questions are:- Is this the way to go? , Does this make the job easier in some way? and what other parts should i buy along with this Rear half tub to complete the job ?, Thanks in advance for any advice, my WM sounds like a machine gun when on spin and none of the family can stay in the kitchen when its on !
just because you cant find a bearing does not mean you cant get them
the bearings themselves will be standard sizes. What matters is the water seal.
its a good idea to strip the machine first and examine the parts. look closely at the drum spider (carrier) for corrosion and damage where the seal runs. either of the faults would mean the spider would need replacing too
if all ok, knock out the bearings and seal. check the sizes. you could find a local bearing supplier and if they have a seal the bearings should pose no problem
if you get it all you will need some seal grease

As Dave said it’s best to check the shaft and stainless collar before ordering a kit. If you get stuck I list this kit in workshop stock.

As far as I remember bearings are 6205 and 6206 and oil seal is 35x62x10 BUT THIS COULD BE WRONG as I can`t find my damn list. You can get the rear half tank as you already know BUT the drum which comes with the spider as far as I know is now obsolete. Dismantle the contraption 1st BEFORE you order or try to order anything. The spider arm/s will be obviously cracked if that is the issue, ya can`t miss it. Check the bearings remove the oil seal only if the bearings are nuked for the time being ( the oil seal will have the sizes on it ). I did have a look alike model to yours where everything appeared perfect but it was the bearing housing of the plastic tank – the bearing tube area set into the plastic moulding – that had cracked, it was not overly obvious so watch out for that one. In other words there is no point buying anything for this thing until you know whether it is just the bearings only or the rear tank is nuked or the drum /spider is nuked. Best of luck.
